Description
"Teodosio": this wine is named after a famous emperor, a Basilieus; the coin of the Vth century with Teodosio's effigy became the symbol of our winery.
The winery Basilisco is located in Via delle Cantine, in a XVIth century noble palace. The areas of vinification and storage are inside the fascinating caves chosen by Pierpaolo Pasolini to set his movie "Il Vangelo secondo Matteo". In the XVth century, several groups of Albanian refugees escaped from Turkish pressure, settled down in some areas of Southern Italy creating proper enclaves which are still existing. Barile is an arbereshe (Italian-Albanian ethnic group) settlement and the dozens caves in the tuff stone,
characterizing its landscape, have been dig by the colonists as a shelter. Many tunnels twist and turn inside the tuff stone underneath the village. The caves facing North have a stable 16-18 °C degrees temperature, therefore are ideal as storage and they've always been used for processing and preserving oil and wine.
As in the old days, in the 8 caves of Basilisco, Aglianico del Vulture is vinified and set to rest inside the silent meander of the volcano.
Tasting
Ruby-red coloured wine tending to violet-purple.
Soft fruit aroma with a prevalence of plum and morello cherry.
Well balanced, full in body and with a lingering finish.
